All Blacks ready to 'take control' against Japan
The Straits Times
|October 23, 2024
TOKYO – The All Blacks will be wary of Japan's "flair" under Eddie Jones when the two sides meet in Yokohama on Oct 26, centre David Havili said.
New Zealand face Japan before heading to Europe for Tests on successive weekends against England, Ireland and France, followed by Italy.
"Just the Japanese flair is what we've got to look out for this weekend. We know they like to play with the ball a lot, so we have to take control there," Havili told reporters in Tokyo on Oct 21.
Jones, the former England and Australia coach, is "definitely an innovative coach and you've seen that in the teams he has been a part of", said Crusaders star Havili, 29.
"We have to be ready for something different and I am sure that they will bring that as well," added Havili, who has played 28 times for the All Blacks.
"It's all about us making sure that we execute in the right areas of the field. We don't want to give them the ball and (give away) silly little turnovers that are making us play in our own part of the field.
